"Team Leader Jiang, let's go first. We can leave this to the police officers."
"No need." Jiang Cheng waved his hand, interrupting the person in charge of the second observation floor next to him.
"But if you get into danger, we won't be able to explain it to the higher-ups."
"Don't worry about that. My assistant will take care of my safety. By the way, have all the researchers been evacuated?"
"Most of them have already left, but Professor Chen Ang is still here."
"Where's the data? Did you take the data from the space docking project with you?"
“There are dedicated personnel who have organized it.”
During a break in their conversation, Jiang Cheng raised his hand to check the time; it was a little past nine in the morning.
Gunfire continued to pour downstairs, and people kept falling dead on the spot. The Zerg flying in the air kept falling down. After the police officers realized that the abdomen was the creature's weak point, they visibly reduced the number of the enemy's swarm.
However, without the flamethrower, even grenades don't have such a wide-ranging and sustained killing power, and the distance is just too close!
The stark white bones were glaringly obvious. He lay there, some flesh still clinging to his thigh bone, a musket lying beside him, and no one dared to pick it up.
Because these intelligent creatures, once they detect someone approaching, will swarm over and devour the person trying to pick up the gun; that area is completely isolated.
The police could only fire at him by maintaining a distance!
This is a classic case, equivalent to a term in warfare: "encircling the dead and attacking reinforcements."
In a battle, snipers would hide in the mountains and forests, accurately shooting their opponents in the legs, rendering them unable to move and turning them into a decoy "corpse"!
The enemy's comrades would naturally be very anxious and want to save the wounded.
The scope was fixed on the area with the corpses, and anyone who came near would be shot.
On the battlefield, excessive compassion is also a sin; if you intend to rescue someone, you'll be playing right into the hands of a sniper.
Emotions are both an innate strength and a weakness of living beings, and countless tragedies have been caused by surrounding corpses and attacking reinforcements.
The captain certainly understood this principle, and although he was heartbroken, he still did not try to have the flamethrower taken back.
They were actually halfway to success. The sheer number of insects was overwhelming, but they couldn't break through the dense hail of bullets and leave the launch pad area.
Time slowly passed, and the end was fast approaching for these first invaders.
Jiang Cheng gave one last instruction: "Have Professor Chen Ang wait for me at the door. I'll be right there. We'll leave in the same car. After you hear my order in three minutes, the guards should also withdraw."
"clear!"
Jiang Cheng lowered his eyes again, glanced at the corpses piled on the ground and the glaring white bones, and a feeling of pity rose in his heart.
He turned and left.
There are three reasons to stay in such a dangerous area.
First, he needs to get up close to what kind of creatures his future enemies are, and have some understanding of their attack methods and weaknesses. Such opportunities to witness them firsthand are rare.
Secondly, while the researchers could evacuate immediately, he couldn't. As the backbone, he had to be on the front lines of the battle at all times so that the police officers would have the determination to fight to the death.
Then Jiang Cheng can also take this opportunity to understand the real battlefield, temper his mentality, and see the corpses, the guns spitting fire, and those cruel scenes. In the end, everyone has to face it, so it's better to let it come sooner rather than later.
Since it's an evacuation, it means they already have a way to end these creatures.
Everyone has left, and the data has been organized, so there's no need to keep the observation floor where the intruders gathered.
In fact, there are only three most important things in this area!
First, the researchers—they are a valuable asset!
Secondly, there are brain-like and data-related scientific research achievements from Jiangcheng.
Thirdly, human life.
These buildings are not worth preserving and are not worth mentioning.
The person in charge watched the scene below with nervousness, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He was extremely nervous! He had no choice but to endure the agonizing wait.
With more than half of the police officers dead or wounded, and their firepower already waning, the rate of death would undoubtedly accelerate many times over if no reinforcements arrived.
Unbeknownst to them, a large group of soldiers dressed in SWAT uniforms surged across the gray-green plain, moving at a very fast pace and quickly surrounding the entire second observation tower.
Then, the sound of cars rattling along filled the air as several off-road vehicles were followed by a dark green rocket launcher. The massive vehicle slowly pulled it forward, and it came along with a unique charm that was truly awe-inspiring.
Once you see it, you'll never forget it.
The M142 self-propelled rocket launcher, codenamed HIMARS, has a range of up to 42 kilometers and is a tactical missile! It is standard equipment for light marching units!
Gu Qingwan drove Jiang Cheng and Chen Ang to the highest point of the plain. He got out of the car and stood at the edge.
"Reporting to Team Leader Jiang, reinforcements have arrived!"
"Alright, I'll inform them to evacuate."
On the terrace, the anxious supervisor finally received the notification. Unable to contain his elation, he shouted directly to the police officers on the observation platform below, "Evacuate immediately! The bombing is about to begin!"
The captain didn't hear those words at first; his ears were ringing from the explosion. It took several shouts from the person in charge before they finally reached his ears. This captain, who was in his forties, hadn't experienced such a brutal battlefield in a long time. He was usually in charge of preserving natural features, and at that moment, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
